| Comment | My favourite toilets in Glasgow were in the Modern Language building at Glasgow Uni.
It was a really striking 1950s building full of original features - floors, light fixtures, furniture, doors etc. The toilets were in the basement, with fancy solid wood doors and walls and big ornate round sinks in the middle of the room. Had a real "they don't make stuff like this any more" vibe. Did many a classy jobby in there.
About a decade ago, the Modern Language department got downsized and kicked out to a smaller building. The School of Law took over the building and totally modernised it. Ceiling tiles with fluorescent strip lights, modern floors, new furniture, the lot. They ripped out the toilets and put new chipboard walls and modern fixtures in.
Absolute fucking waste. They ruined a great, unique building. |
